    Lemmy, let’s not bring over that reddit /r/nothingeverhappens bullshit. If you don’t believe it, cool keep it to yourself. Otherwise it’s just a funny post, move on.

    Been seeing a ton of this nothing ever happens attitude lately

      I’d guess the “nothing ever happens” people are young.

      When I was in my early 20s, I met my dad for the first time. He’d tell tall stories I could not believe. Not long after I had a roommate the same age, same tall stories.

      Now that I’m that age, I got tall stories. If you choose an adventurous (slightly irresponsible) life, and get off the couch now and again, life is truly stranger than fiction.

        I frequent c/GreenText and people have that attitude all the time, including when the post is about the most normal shit you would hear from a boring friend.

      People are like this also irl. Sure, there was a subreddit for it, but the nothingeverhappens attitude is one of the things i experienced in any country I’ve been in.

      How about let people act the way they want? That’s not a reddit thing, that’s just how regular people respond to an unbelievable story. Sorry your suspension of disbelief is being shattered? If you don’t like it, then ignore the people with opposite view points.
